Transitions

Sometimes in the world of blogs, things become pretty insular. A leads to B leads to C. We have a few items that break our insularity.

Congratulations to some friends of ours who are in Karaganda right now. They just had their adoption court hearing and are the proud new parents of a little boy toddler. They are staying in the same apartment we were in. The timelines for their immigration process means that they won't be back home for Christmas. They received an early gift that they won't be able to share with their families for a while yet. Our thoughts are with them.

Our thoughts and prayers are with John's cousin Debbie as she is in very serious condition in hospital right now. She has pneumonia. She is not going to be home in time for Christmas.

Our thoughts and prayers are also with John's cousin Brenda as she continues her long battle with cancer.
